Traditions
Many maps, one mountain.
Think of these traditions as cartographers from different cultures drawing the same mountain range. The maps look different — different languages, different symbols — but the mountain is the same. YogoLogo names what the maps share, then points you to the masters of each. Two things they share: a destination — call it enlightenment — and an energy.

Enlightenment, by many names.
Different names for the same shift — from reactive, ego-driven living to clear, present, integrated being.
Select a term above to explore it.
Samadhi Yoga
The yogi stills the fluctuations of the mind and rests in pure awareness. Patanjali calls the work of getting there chitta vritti nirodhah — the stilling of the mind’s fluctuations.
More in Yoga Philosophy →Eudaimonia Stoicism
The Stoic uses a clear mind to live virtuously in the world. They train prosoche — sustained attention — as the condition for living wisely.
More in Stoicism →Nirvana Buddhism
The Buddhist sees through the illusion of a permanent self. The calm that makes this possible is samatha — calm abiding.
More in Buddhism →Self-actualisation Psychology
Not the corporate sense of “becoming your best self,” but Maslow’s later sense — self-transcendence, the bridge he himself drew to Buddhist and yogic states.
More in The Convergence →The now All paths
What every path points at: consciousness no longer caught in its own contents, but resting in awareness. You can only be free now — the path does not lead to this moment later; it is this moment, more fully inhabited.
The path is the goal — The Convergence →The shared energy — tap each term
Three names for the subtle life energy the path works with — breath linked to vitality, free flow treated as health.

Prana Yoga
The subtle life energy. Yoga traces it through the nadis and chakras, and tends it through the breath — pranayama.
More in Yoga Philosophy →Qi Chinese medicine
The same vital force in Chinese medicine, traced through meridians and organ systems — kept flowing through qigong, acupuncture, and herbs.
More in Traditional Chinese Medicine →Ki Reiki
The Japanese name for the same energy, centred in the hara and worked with through breath, posture, and touch — Reiki among these arts.

What they share is the precondition: a mind stilled enough to see clearly. That is what the equation points at — not metaphysical identity, but practical convergence. The same room. Different doors.
